NIT Basketball vs. Xavier Tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. Crisler Arena SPORTS* Men's Tennis vs. WMU Saturday, 6:00 p.m. Track and Tennis Building Tfe Michigan Daily Wednesday, March 21, 1984 Page 7 o beat Brdly 5-3 Special to the Daily ENDINBURGH, Texas - Freshman Mike Betz delivered a bases-loaded tw-run double in his first collegiate at- bat to give the Michigan baseball team 5-3 victory over Bradley yesterday. Betz's eighth-inning blow followed back-to-back singles by Rich Bair and Casey Close and a walk to Matt Siuda. It provided pitcher Scott Kamieniecki with the support he would need to pick uphis first win of the season. KAMIENIECKI (1-0) struck out nine and allowed only four hits in out-dueling fellow U.S. Olympic baseball team member Michael Dunne (1-1). The Wolverine righthander had a two-hit shutout going into the sixth inning when he surrendered three walks and two hits which accounted for all three of Bradley's runs. The Detroit native then settled down and retired the last eight hitters in a row. Michigan's other runs came during a seventh inning rally which began with a walk to Kurt Zimmerman. After an out, pinch hitter Jeff Minich doubled to right sending Zimmerman to third. Dunne struck out Chuck Froning but con- secutive walks to Barry Larkin and Mike Watters loaded the bases and produced the first run. Ken Hayward followed with a two-run single which tied the game and set the stage for Betz's heroics.' The victory evened the Wolverines' record in the Jody Ramsey Tour- nament at 1-1. Their next game is tonight against tournament host Pan- American University with left-hander Gary Wayne scheduled to start. Michigan's overall record now stands at 2-2 with both victories coming over Bradley. Hayward leads the squad with a .538 batting average and nine RBI. Close (.467, five RBI) and Larkin (.353) are also off to good starts at the plate.

After the match against the Divison III school, the Wolverines (3-6) will prepare for a six-match road string that features four Big Ten teams, Notre Dame, rand Mid-AmericanConference power Miami. The trip begins Friday at Western Michigan. MICHIGAN coach Ollie Owens will play a juggled lineup in today's contest. "I'll be playing some people I haven't had a chance to see," Owens said. "It'll give some people a chance to play." The Wolverines will stick the with its top three players, Mary Mactaggart, Paula Reichert, and Karen Milczarski. Monica Borcherts, usually a No. 6 singles player, will move up to No. 4 singles. Ann Mazure at No. 5 and Trisha Horn at No. 6 will play in their first matches of the season. Calvin College, coached by Nancy Van Noord, will make their season debut. They are led by senior Jan Boerema, who won the Division III state doubles title last season. Of the eight players on the roster, five are Sup wth alvin freshmen. Boerema is the only senior. I think we'll be all right. PLAYING such a young team, the "It's kind of a chance to get s Wolverines, starting three seniors competition without too much worn today, will have to guard against over- a loss." confidence. Owenst said, "I think it's The netters better enjoy this (a letdown) a possibility. It would be no because afterwards, there won't be surprise if we get off to a slow start, but "easy" matches. some ry of one, any McCormick wakes up...- - ... too bad he overslept A T 8:00 p.m. last Monday, the Crisler Arena alarm clock went off. Tim McCormick woke up and became a basketball player again. It's not that the Michigan senior ever stopped playing the game. He just stopped playing the way he is capable of playing - until Monday night. McCormick banged his way to 21 points and eight rebounds in Michigan's 83-70 NIT victory over Marquette. More significantly, the Wolverine center (he still plays the post, no matter what position he fills during the pre-game introductions) grabbed a few loose balls on defense, kept muscular Warrior center Tom Copa away from the basket and finished the game without a tur- nover. He even hit seven of 10 free throws and a 15-foot jump shot. It was quite a change from the McCormick who manned the Wolverine middle down the stretch of the Big Ten season. That McCormick dropped passes, got stripped of the ball by opposing guards and badly missed both free throws and jumpers. The old Tim Monday night's McCormick was the McCormick that Michigan missed so sorely when the games counted. He and Eric Turner were supposed to form the heart of the Wolverine attack. Instead, Roy Tarpley pumped life into the team while Turner and Dan Pelekoudas became the veins and arteries. McCormick seemed more like a kidney. The 6-11, 240-pounder played an integral role in the Wolverines' success, but you got the feeling that he was an interchangeable part. The skills which made the former high school All-American unique, his rough inside game and soft. outside shot, Mc(ormick disappeared.McCormick contributed his size, intelligence and ball-handling skills but little else. Monday night's outburst could have been more timely - against North- western, for instance - but the Michigan co-captain and his coach will take it just the same. "I played better than I have been," McCormick said after the game. "Things haven't worked out the way I've wanted them to lately." Frieder said: "It was good to see McCormick play the way he did. He was aggressive, he scored and did a good job on the boards." In other words, he did the things that Frieder and everyone else in Crisler Arena expected him to do all year long. Towering over five Musketeers McCormick might enjoy similar success tomorrow night against Xavier. The Cincinnati school boasts no players taller than 6-8. If he flops, though, it really should not matter. The Wolverines' talent should overwhelm the visiting Musketeers and anyone else left in the NIT. Even Frieder can't deny that his team features talent superior to that of the other seven quarterfinalists. Two weeks ago, Frieder probably could not name a single player on Xavier, Southwest Louisiana, Virginia Tech or San- ta Clara. Three big games by McCormick, however, would make Michigan's chores a bit easier to perform. Tarpley no longer surprises opponents. Expect teams to sag on the smooth, scoring whiz. If defenses collapse around Tar- pley, McCormick should be able to work his way' free, He might even ac- cumulate a couple more 20-point games. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, it would be a classic case of too little, too late. Rug gers trample .N.Y. Athletic Club 1- By DAN COVEN New York, New York. It's a wonderful town; Michigan pounds N.Y. Athletic Club into a hole in the ground. Clu b Sports Roundup Such was the outcome of the Rugby Club's annual spring excursion to New York as they trounced the highly- touted New York Athletic Club 18-0, last Saturday. PAUL LEBLANC scampered 25 yar- ds into the try zone for the first try and Mark Hoch converted on the extra- point as the ruggers jumped out to a 6-0 lead on their first possesion. Paul Knight, Mark Hoch and Dale Tuttle each added a try. The ruggers pushed the New Yorkers all over their home turf at Pelham Manor. "Our defense was outstan- ding," said club president Ken Hawk. "We won 90 percent of the scrums and controlled the ball the whole time." The 'B' team lost, 16-3 while the 'C' team won, 18-13. The rugby club, ranked second in the Midwest, will host the region's top- seeded Palmer College on March 31 at Mitchell Field. Write On... * riting, editing, typing. 996-0566.

Mortar Board 83-84 W ITH EIGHT teams remaining in the NIT and 16 in the NCAAs, this seems like a good time to ask an expert how things are developing: Q - How are Michigan's chances in the NIT? A - Pretty good. Xavier, its next opponent, struggled to win two home games with Ohio State an Nebraska. The Wolverines will be favorites at Crisler Thrusday and once they get to New York, it's anybody's tournament. Q - Do the two big wins over Wichita State and Marquet- te prove that Michigan belonged in the NCAAs? A - You can't go by the results of those games. Who's to say that the results would have been the same on a neutral court? But regardless of the NIT results, the Wolverines did deserve an NCAA bid. Q - Then why didn't they get one? Michigan's record was as good as some of the teams that got at-large bids. A - Despite the ,fact that Michigan is ranked higher on the computers than Virginia, Alabama, Villanova and St. John's, those schools are perennial tournament favorites. The committee probably decided to go with a safe bet rather than a team that hasn't been there since 1977. Q - If Frieder's crew doesn't win the NIT, who will? A - Virginia Tech. The Hokies (how can they win with that name?) should beat Tennessee Friday and make it to Madison Square Garden. This is a team that annihilated Memphis State during the season and upset Louisville in the Metro tourney. Q - OK, moving on to the real tournament, who do you like in the round of 16? A - Out East, go with Syracuse over Virginia by five and North Carolina over Indiana by 20. Q - Aren't you being a little rough on the Hoosiers? A - No, Illinois beat them by 17 a couple of weeks ago. The Tar Heels will make the Hoosiers look like an IM team. Q - What about the Mideast? A - I see Kentucky destroying Louisville. Take Maryland over Illinois by nine. Q - There goes the last Big Ten team. Why do ?you predict an early exit for the conference representatives? A - The style of play in the Big Ten kills the teams that can't adapt to the pace of the NCAAs.' Look at Purdue. Gene Keady's team went 15-3 in the league by keeping the games close and then hitting all of its free throws down the stretch. You can do that in a conservative, defense-orien- Illinois, Indiana to fall.. .. .Wolverines move right along But when the Boilermakers had to play Memphis State, they were thoroughly overmatched. The Tigers didn't sit around and wait for things to develop, they gave the ball to Keith Lee and made them happen. Before Purdue could get the number of the truck that hit it, Memphis State was a 66-48 winner. Jim Rowinski and friends took their half-share of the Big Ten title home to West Lafayette. Q - Fine, so Purdue's style wasn't suited for Memphis State. Does that mean that Indiana and Illinois also have to lose? A - They don't have to, but they will. Indiana's a year away from being a legitimate national title contender. The Illini are more talented than Purdue but Maryland is better than Memphis State. Lou Henson's squad will have trouble with the Terrapins' front line of Ben Coleman, Len Bias and Herman Veal. ,Q - You mean none of the schools in the Big Ten this year have the ability to adapt to a faster-paced game? A - Michigan does. Unlike Purdue which has no speed, Illinois which has no depth and Indiana whose center is a stiff, the Wolverines have all the dimensions of a team that can play Big Ten ball during the regular season and turn to a running game in the tournament. Q - That has to be encouraging for next season. A - Yeah, but the key will be winning on the road in the Big Ten. I have no doubt that, barring injury, Roy Tarpley and Rich Rellford will be.great next year. But the team has got to play disciplined ball to get to the NCAAs. Tremendous players don't always combine to form a conference champ. Just ask Jud Heathcote. Q - Getting back to the regionals, who's going to take the Midwest and West? A - DePaul will beat Wake Forest, Houston will edge Memphis State (I have my doubts about this one), look for UNLV to upset Georgetown and Washington to end Dayton's Cinderella Express. Q - Dayton? Isn't that the crummy team that came into Crisler in December and got wasted? A - The very same. You can never tell who's going to get hot in March. Q - We're just about out of space. Any last comment? A - Yes, I'd like to suggest that the basketball band learn to play New York, New York between now and tomorrow night. It'll come in handy. \ i~7 Get a free T-shirt when you rent from Notional. Rent a car from National at any of the locations below and enjoy the benefits. Low ,
